R1 =H, aryl or hetaryl

R2 =H, alkyl, aryl, hetaryl, aralkyl or cycloalkyl,

R3 =a substituent,

R4 =H or CH3 and

n=0 to 4.

The radicals R3 can be identical or different. Me preferably represents Ni. The alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl and hetaryl radicals can optionally be substituted.

Alkyl preferably represents optionally substituted C1 -C20 -alkyl (substituents are, for example, acylamino, in particular C1 -C4 -alkylcarbonylamino, carbamoyl, C1 -C20 -alkoxy, COOH, OH, OCONHR, where R=alkyl or aryl, or aromatic radicals, such as benzyl), it also being possible for the alkyl chain to be interrupted by heteroatoms, for example O.

Aryl preferably represents phenyl or naphthyl, optionally substituted by 1 to 4 substituents from the series comprising halogen, such as Cl, Br and F; C1 -C4 -alkyl, C1 -C4 -alkoxy, carbamoyl, mono- and di-C1 -C4 -alkylcarbamoyl, COOH, NO2, CN, CF3, acylamino, in particular C1 -C4 -alkylcarbonylamino and optionally substituted phenylcarbonylamino (preferably 1 to 3 substituents from the group comprising Cl, Br, NO2 and C1 -C4 -alkyl), ureido, mono-C1 -C4 -alkylureido and N-phenylureido (optionally substituted in the phenyl ring by 1 to 3 substituents from the group comprising Cl, NO2, CN, C1 -C4 -alkyl and C1 -C4 -alkoxy).

Preferred aryl radicals R2 are phenyl, tolyl, chlorophenyl and 4-ethoxyphenyl.

The pigments according to the invention are prepared, for example, by reaction of isoindoles of the formula ##STR3## in which T represents NH or (Oalkyl)2 and R1, R3 and n have the abovementioned meaning, with pyridone derivatives of the formula ##STR4## in which R2 and R4 have the abovementioned meaning, to give compounds of the formula ##STR5## which are reacted directly or after intermediate isolation with a compound MeX2 (ME=Ni, Cu, Co or Zn; X or X2 preferably=acetate, formate, chloride or sulphate) to give the metal complex of the formula (I).

Alternatively, the reaction of (II) with (III) can be carried out in the presence of MeX2, in which case the complexes (I) are formed directly.

The complexes (I) are also accessible analogously by reaction of an isoindole-hydrazone of the formula ##STR6## with a pyridone derivative of the formula ##STR7## in which Y represents O or N-Ph, wherein Ph designates optionally substituted phenyl, and R2 and R4 have the abovementioned meaning.

(IV) is likewise formed in this reaction and can then be reacted directly or after intermediate isolation to give the complex (I).

The starting materials of the formulae (II), (III), (V) and (VI) are known from the literature or can be prepared by processes analogous to those known from the literature.

The reactions are carried out in organic solvents, for example dimethylformamide, n-butanol or glycol monomethyl ether, preferably at temperatures between 50° and 150°C

Some of the pigments (I) occur in a plurality of modifications which can be obtained by subsequent heat treatment at elevated temperatures or by finishing processes.

Because of their good pigment properties, the pigments of the formula (I) are suitable for the most diverse pigment applications. They can thus be used for the preparation of very fast pigmented systems, such as mixtures with other substances, formulations, paints, printing inks, coloured paper and coloured macromolecular substances. Mixtures with other substances can be understood, for example, as being those with organic white pigments, such as titanium dioxide (rutile). Formulations are, for example, flush pastes containing organic liquids and if appropriate preservatives. The term paints represents, for example, coatings which dry by physical means or oxidation, stoving enamels, reactive coatings, two-component coatings, emulsion paints for weatherproof finishes and distempers. Printing inks are to be understood as those for printing paper, textiles and sheet metal. The new pigments are particularly suitable for pigmenting macromolecular organic substances.

The macromolecular substances can be of natural origin, such as rubber, or can be obtained by chemical modification, such as acetyl cellulose, cellulose butyrate or viscose, or produced synthetically, such as polymers, polyaddition products and polycondensates. Plastic compositions, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl propionate, polyolefins, for example polyethylene, or polyamides, high molecular weight polyamides, polymers and copolymers of acrylic esters or methacrylic esters, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, butadiene and styrene, as well as polyurethanes and polycarbonates may be mentioned. The substances pigmented with the pigments claimed can be in any desired form. Because of their high transparency and fastness to weathering, the pigments of the formula (I) are particularly suitable for use in car finishes, in particular for metallic paints.

The pigments of the formula (I) are excellently fast to water, fast to oil, fast to acid, fast to lime, fast to alkali, fast to solvents, fast to overvarnishing, fast to overspraying, fast to sublimation, resistant to heat and resistant to vulcanization, have a very good tinctorial strength and can easily be distributed in plastic compositions, and in particular are excellently fast to light and fast to migration.

12 g of the isoindole derivative of the formula ##STR8## prepared from aminoimino-isoindolenine and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one in methanol, are stirred with 8 g of the hydrazone of the formula ##STR9## prepared from the corresponding aldehyde with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol, in 250 ml of dimethylformamide at 90°C for 2 hours. 9.9 g of nickel acetate tetrahydrate are then added and the mixture is heated briefly to 120°C The product is filtered off hot with suction and washed with dimethylformamide, methanol and water.

Bluish-tinged red crystals of the complex of the formula ##STR10## are obtained.

Melting point: >300°C

IR: 3430, 2220, 1626, 1594, 1557, 1494, 1303, 1255, 1162, 1016

UV: double bands 524 and 554 nm (31000 and 31000) in pyridine

MS: 547 (100%) M⊕, 118 (18%).

If the procedure is analogous to Example 1 and, instead of the isoindole intermediate product employed in that example, an equimolar amount of the compound ##STR11## is used, a red nickel complex of the structure ##STR12## is obtained accordingly.

Melting point: >300°C

IR: 3438, 2216, 1627, 1597, 1557, 1492, 1335, 1016, 771, 749.

MS: 581 (100%) M⊕, 152 (10%)

UV: double bands 524 and 556 nm (32000 and 31500) in pyridine

4 g of finely ground pigment according to Example 1 are dispersed in 92 g of a stoving enamel of the following composition:

33% of alkyd resin

15% of melamine resin

5% of glycol monomethyl ether

34% of xylene

13% of butanol

Possible alkyd resins are product based on synthetic and vegetable fatty acids, such as coconut oil, castor oil, hydrogenated castor oil, linseed oil and the like. Instead of melamine resins, urea resins can be used.

After the dispersion has been performed, the pigmented enamel is applied to foils of paper, glass, plastic or metal and stoved at 130°C for 30 minutes, a brilliant red coating being obtained.

6 parts of pigment according to Example 1 are dispersed in 12 parts of xylene 4.1 parts of butyl acetate and 0.7 parts of n-butanol with 22.5 parts of a 20% strength solution of cellulose acetobutyrate in butyl acetate/xylene (2:1) in a Red Devil containing 2 to 3 mm of glass beads for 30 minutes. After "fattening up" by addition of 10 parts of a saturated polyester resin (Dynapol H 700) 7.3 parts of melamine resin, 8.7 parts of a 20% strength solution of cellulose acetobutyrate in butyl acetate/xylene (2:1) 18 parts of butyl acetate, 1.6 parts of n-butanol and 9.7 parts of xylene, dispersion is carried out for another 5 minutes.

A dispersion of aluminium paste (60%) in an organic solvent (about 1:2) is added to this finish in an amount such that the ratio of pigment:Al comes to between 80:12 and 1:99.

This finish is brushed on and, after drying, coated with a clearcoat based on acrylate/melamine resin, which can contain other auxiliaries, such as, for example, UV absorbers, and stoved.

A red metallic finish with a brilliant colour shade and excellent fastness to weathering is obtained.

0.2 g of the pigment obtained according to Example 1 are dispersed in 65 g of stabilized PVC and 35 g of diisooctyl phthalate at 160°C on a mixing mill and the composition is milled at 160°C A red film of very good fastness to light and migration is obtained.
